POLINI E-P3:
POWERFUL, COMPACT, LIGHT

THE E-BIKE
The maximum speed of the E-Bike is 25 Km / h (the engine turn off once reach this
speed) and the maximum continuous rated power of the engine is 250 Watts.
According with the European Directive 2002/24 / EC, transposed in Italy with the
decree of January 31, 2003 from the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport, the
engine is power of the eletric bike must be 250 watts, the engine must be activated
automatically when you start riding and it must switched off immediately when stop
riding.
The engine must turn off once the speed of 25 Km / h has been reached, beyond this
speed it is possible to proceed only thanks to the strength of our legs (or downhill).

THE E-P3 ENGINE CONCEPT
Among all types of electric motors, Polini has adopted the center position of the engine
on the bike frame, because we believe it is the most functional and efficient.
The distribution of the weights is optimal and has the possibility to take advantage of the
gearbox already present on the bike.
The engine is operated thanks to a torque sensor positioned on the central axis that
measures the power of the pedal stroke, depending on the selected level the power is
increased.
Without any pression on the pedal the electric assistance must be finish.
The motor is of the brushless type, lighter, smaller and more efficient. This technology is
less subject to breakage.
The battery have the best technology present on the market at the moment , lithium ions
tecnology.
Polini Motori designed their motors so that they can be inspected,
if necessary: this ensures a higher value to the motors, once the
warranty period of 24 months is over.

TECHNICAL EXPLANATION:
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN WATT and WATT per HOUR
THE WATT ARE THE MEASUREMENT UNIT OF THE ELECTRIC POWER. FOR EP3
MEAN THE MAXIMUM POWER THAT CAN SUPPLY THE ENGINE.THIS POWER IS
LIMITED TO 250 WATT AS PROVIDED BY LAW.
- THE WATT ARE THE MEASUREMENT UNIT OF THE ENERGY QUANTITY OF THE
BATTERY
- THE WATT per HOUR REPRESENTS THE TANK AT THE DISPOSAL OF THE ENGINE
AND DETERMINE THE DURATION OF THE OPERATION OF THE BIKE.

plastic cover.
• Batteries are not guaranteed against natural wear or deterioration from normal use.
• This battery is designed to be fully waterproof and to be used when raining while
properly installed on the bicycle. Do not put the battery in contact with water when
not installed on the bicycle because the electric terminals, in these conditions, are not
protected.
• Do not clean the bicycle using high pressure water jets. If the water

properly placed.

2.1- Turn E-P3 system on
1. Turn the battery ON using the on/off button
2. Select your preferred assist mode from 1 to 5 using the arrow buttons.
3. Assistance will start when the pedals start turning
4. Change the assist mode in accordance with the conditions of use.

2.2 - Turn E-P3 system off
1- To keep the travelling data updated on the display, first turn the display off and then
the battery. On the contrary the travelling data on the display are not saved properly.
2- By turning off the display only, the battery remains ON for 2 hours with a low battery
consumption.
3- It is not possible to turn the display off while riding the E-bicycle.

3 - Charging the battery
Charging can be carried out at any time regardless of the amount of charge remaining,
but you should fully charge the battery at the following circumstances. (Be sure to use the
dedicated charger when recharging the battery during these circumstances):
• The battery is not fully charged at the time of purchase. Before riding, be sure to
charge the battery until it is fully charged.
If the battery has become fully spent, charge it as soon as possible. If you leave the
battery without charging it, it will deteriorate before its time.
• If the bicycle will not be ridden for a long period of time, store it away with
approximately 70% battery capacity remaining. In addition, take care not to let the
battery become completely empty by charging it for 2 hours every 3 months.

3.2- About the charger LED lamp
Charger connected into the outlet and battery
under charge – RED Power led /RED charge led
Charger connected into the outlet and battery
recharged (recharged ended)

Time to recharge a dead battery is about 5 hours

3.3 - Indications of the battery charge level
After pushing the LED light button, the five LED lamps indicate the charge level. Each LED
corresponds to 20% of capacity.
You can check the current charging status on the LED lamp on the battery (state of
charge ). When charging the battery, the
LED lamps are blinking.
